Atlético-MG turn down Fluminense’s offer for Guilherme Arana, says reporter | OneFootball

Atlético-MG has rejected the first offer made by Fluminense for left-back Guilherme Arana. The information comes from journalist Lucas Tanaka, who closely follows football in Minas Gerais. According to the reporter, Arana wishes to leave Galo and initially prioritized an opportunity in European football. However, in the absence of offers from abroad, the player has started to view a transfer within the Brazilian market more favorably.

In addition to the player’s desire, Atlético is already moving to sign two other players for the position: Renan Lodi and Juninho Capixaba. As a result, the trend is for Arana to leave the club during this transfer window.

Despite the initial rejection, negotiations with Fluminense remain open. The understanding is that the refusal is part of Atlético-MG’s strategy to increase the player’s value and try to improve the terms of the deal. Tricolor, in turn, has not given up and is expected to submit a new proposal in the coming days.

Guilherme Arana has one of the highest salaries among active full-backs in Brazilian football. Currently, the player earns around R$ 1.1 million per month.
